Actor Zarina Wahab has denied rumours suggesting the involvement of son Sooraj Pancholi in Sushant Singh Rajput's death. After Sushant's death, the nepotism debate reignited in the industry and many conspiracy theories came forward regarding the same. One of those theories alleged that Sooraj was involved in Rajput's death because he tried to cover up Pancholi's affair with his ex-manager Disha Salian.

In an interview with a leading daily, Zarina Wahab said that people are ''unnecessarily dragging'' Sooraj Pancholi into the issue. She said that people just need a ''helpless person'' to blame everything on. Wahab further stated that Sooraj had nothing to do with Sushant Singh Rajput's death.
Zarina Wahab added that people are just cooking up stories about the two. She said that they were not friends as such but they knew each other and always spoke cordially whenever they ran into each other. Zarina also revealed that they called each other 'brother'.
She further added that it is not right for people to take advantage of someone who is in a helpless situation. Adding that people do not fear anybody, Wahab said that people have ''too much free time to do such things''. Zarina Wahab continued that it is easy for people to sit behind a computer and talk about others.
Zarina Wahab further continued that people don't think about how all of this will affect the concerned person. She said that Sooraj Pancholi has already gone through a lot in his life. She further questioned why a person would kill someone they have barely known for a few months.
